shareWith it being released on August 7, it was up against some interesting competition: Weird Science (August 2) and My Science Project (August 9).

My Science Project: US$4 million
Weird Science: US$38 million.
It makes me think what would have happened had Eric Stoltz not get fired from Back to the Future. After all, Val Kilmer narrowly avoided being fired from Real Genius.
